In 1992-1994 I worked for a physicist professor Johnson who swore that he had perceived and measured simple amino acids and petites throughout the universe, and he claimed that only comets presented with the correct temperatures to generate these complex chemistry. He claimed that comets were seeding the universe with biological building blocks. In particular, porphorines chemical structure were extremely common in the specs throughout the galaxy.

From a chemistry standpoint, comets give us a much wider "natural" laboratory for the basics such as distilling that we assume happened on Earth over billions of years. It means that the high/low temperatures we normally use to try to figure out nature are much more intense than we normally screw around with in the lab. Normal chemistry in the past couple hundred years never had access to a freezing point close to absolute zero, along with zero gravity tossed on top for good luck. Abiogenesis seems so much easier using this perspective. Gr8! Peace ☮💜Love

I have for decades wondered what effect low temperature chemistry had on the origins of life. I think I saw an article in maybe the 1980s about how scientists had taken the sludge produced in one of the early attempts to replicate the conditions under which life developed, and froze it (the chemical sludge full of amino acids and other complex molecules). Think the Miller-Urey experiment from 1952 - that kind of research. Years later, someone decided to analyze the frozen sludge and discovered that it hadn’t been sitting there, inert. Chemical reactions had continued to occur and now the molecules it contained were even more complex. In cold temperatures, reactions happen more slowly. Perhaps these conditions were what allowed the first cells with a lipid membrane to slowly assemble and begin to develop metabolism and reproduction? These cometary studies supply intriguing glimpses into the origins of life. Who knows? Perhaps life has developed on some of the ice moons with subsurface oceans? Instead of solar energy, it is the heat from gravitational tidal energy fueling such organisms. I am a 70 year old boomer and I am sorry I won’t be alive long enough to see more such discoveries. But I will eagerly read and listen to whatever I can in the time I have left. Gen Z has a lot to look forward to!
Amazing and mind-blowing. Thanks, Anton!
Wonderful as always Anton. Thank you. ✌️😎
No astonishment here. Except that it still astonishing.
Although I don't remember the details, this hypothesis was suggested years ago. Still a great video, thanks Anton!
The point of this mission, known as STARDUST...
Thank you Anton! I recently read that there are non-organic compounds in the earths mantle that are essential to the formation of life. Olivine is one of about 5. How about it?
Europa and Enceladus along with their parent planets and sibling moons cross the paths of various comets. They have most likely collected some amino acids and peptides too.
This is incredible, and awesome

This seems to make a lot of sense, and as a universal process, it could potentially seed life (or at least the building blocks of life) wherever it can take root. A fascinating episode and beautifully explained as always.

This isn't panspermia. Panspermia means life is transported on comets etc. from one planet to another, and this is abiogenesis beginning in space, instead of on surface of the planet.
Mind blown as usual Anton! But I'm confused about why peptides can survive in a meteor shower but not in a big chunk of comet. My (amateur) mind insists that they would survive better deep inside a bigger chunk of rock. It would be awesome to see a follow up episode on this! Peace brother 💛💙
This is the hypothesis i tend to be leaning towards, and that it's happening everywhere in the universe. All that is needed for life to start is a stable hospitable planet. We cant be alone in the universe, there has to be other life out there of some kind.
Imagine that. Somewhere out there beyond our reach someone is giving a talk on life dust across the universe and wondering if there is life like them and what they may look like.
Comets giveth and comets taketh away.
This has a beautiful implication
Ok. I understand the sprinkle effect. Could a slow approached drop in ok or is it still no?
I watched long time ago experiments in Japan shooting rocks against earth surface , surprisingly amino acids were produced by such a impact, they thought thats how life gets all it needed to start

My trusted nightly video before bed
I remember last year studying a lot of this stuff to write my university thesis. Amazing discoveries. I kind of believe that the comets could have been a key to bring on earth complex molecules to kickstart a process of abiogenesis here on earth, but really anything could be possible... maybe there are really multiple paths to develope life and maybe they are happening right now around the universe... so freaking cool. And scary. But mostly cool.
As well as being rained down from comets, maybe the amino acids are introduced as the planets gets built - so life could originate in the centre of mini-planets and percolate out to the surface as they get bigger...? . That'd explain the Mole People and their planet-wide tunnels. 🤣
The intro to Spore was right all along
Makes a lot of sense
Unless there's some physical or chemical process out there we don't know about that would make the jump from peptides to proteins and then from proteins to cells, RNA and DNA extremely difficult...life MUST be everywhere. Also where does this put the panpsermia hypothesis? If peptides can form and hang out in comets for billions of years, could entire dormant microbes do so as well?
Super exciting, but I feel if it was that universal we would have biosignatures on semi and habitable worlds showing up a lot more. Really interested to see if more proof can be gained from further solar system study like Anton mentioned.
Good to have as many possibilities on how life arose out of the Deep void of Space.
strikes me as an interesting version of the tidal pool theory. comets also receive cyclical heating and cooling, and apparently collect material from around the system like a dust bunny. perfect environment for chemical evolution to begin, or at least complexify. then deposit on earth, if done on a coast then these system spanning petri dishes now find themselves in an environment to continue complexifying even with materials that couldn't ever form on a coast like that. really interesting, should be able to calculate an estimate for how many comets earth needed before robust chemically diverse oceans were made and then see how long until life. the missing ingredient to abiogenesis is the diversity of chemistry as induced by the diversity of conditions met in various places in the solar system, deposit a couple billion years of said complexifying onto an early stabilized earth and boom, life.
Is there any way to analyze the ejecta from comets we observe today to see if these amino acids survive their journey through the atmosphere?
I am surprised the Japanese probe hayabusa isn't mentioned in this video. That probe found amino acids on an asteroid.
Well, It may require a rewrite of Genasis but to my way of thinking it does two positive things for Humanity. One; It tells us we are ALL aliens so that ends that debate, Yes Johny There Are Alines, and you are one of them. TWO; It adds a new piece to the puzzle that we did not really have before in the evolution of the Humen race. God's brilliant and endless creation never ceases to amaze and entertain me. Think about the odds we as a species had to overcome just to get to crawl out of the soup and then swim. From there the odds of a single person to be here, now and the innumerable people that did not beat the odds and never got to exist. Yup, God Is great and I am blessed to be able to enjoy this universe. Thanks for another one Anton, Bless and be well all.
If life comes from a comet, just makes the question bigger, how did life form on that comet? If it is from a destroyed planet that had life, how was it created there?
Personally, I suspect that exo-biogenesis occured in the cycle where interstellar dust grains collapse into proto-planetary disks and ejected when the proto-star ignites. This gives biogenesis billions of years to occur over a galactic scale, rather than hundreds of millions of years on a planetary scale. While technically obsolete, I highly recommend A.G. Cairns, "On the Mineral Origins of Life."

Shortly, comets roaming around is actually sowing potential life.
I recall an experiment in which electrical discharges in a mixture of gases led to the formation of amino acids. It's not to hard to imagine comets harboring such 'experiments', but under very different conditions. Ionizing radiation, solar wind ions, heating/cooling cycles could drive chemical reactions. Earth-side amino acids + cometary dust = chemistry of life?

I think that comets are like cosmic sperm, and planets are like eggs, to ultimately unite into the self-awareness of the universe, which is manifested by some representatives of our species, albeit not as often as we would like.
i've been saying for a while now that maybe life is really common, that once we get out into space more frequently that we will find life everywhere we go - the reason life is rare is not because it rarely starts but that it rarely survives. it has been suggested that life on earth, and in fact civilisations on earth, have happened more than once, humans have only been around for millions of years at most, how many times could life appear and be wiped out completely in a billion years?
Life self-assembles & evolved under favourable conditions.

This was definitely intriguing. Thanks for info Anton!🪐
This comet is wild
I'm betting it was a meteor that crashed next to a volcanic vent which was cyclically depositing heat energy and light elements like sulfur compounds to liberate heavy elements from the meteor, and that produced the energy conditions that would benefit from being replicated inside of a cell.
I always had thought that too.. More like on earth when plants pollinate there seed into the air. Seed of life
While we may have received some water from a comet here and there, I can't grasp how that would result in the massive amount of water not on;y on earth but possibly on other moons and planets that has been reported.

Long time fan and not a chemistry/biology expert. Would liquid water on a planet/moon be needed for these polypeptides to create life? Or could polypeptides create life on a moon/planet with for example liquid methane or some other liquid compound other than water? If that were possible, then I imagine the goldilox zone around a star could be MUCH larger.
